    I noticed this electronic box today on my 2010 Prerunner. It was unplugged. I plugged it in and a green light came on. I tried image searching it and nothing came up...

    Any ideas what it is? Should I keep it plugged in?

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Beauty. Thanks team. Did some reading about it. It does seem like a crock of shit. No evidence shows that it helps with rust...

    Good news, it's now being offered as an app that you can download to your phone. Bad news, it's still the same worthless POS.
